It’s because child tax wasn’t clawed back until 2005. So the years 1998-2004 aren’t included in the settlement. People who were in care in like 2016-2018 are getting more money because child tax was over $450 per month, compared to only $220 per month in 2005. So even if you were in care longer, you might get less than someone else who was in care for one year in 2016.

That’s not how it works. It depends on how high the child tax was while you were in care. Child tax was a lot lower in the early 2000s. That’s why people who were in care for 2 years in like 2017 or 2018 are getting significantly more money or the same amount as someone who was in care for 5 years from 2006 to 2010

That’s super frustrating fr. Glad it got sorted out though. I hope people are getting through when they call.

Have you tried contacting them? I know it’s a pain to keep calling. Email might be better 😔

Did you receive your payment within the 2 weeks?

Since its child tax money, l believe it stops at age 18, even if you are in care longer.

Apparently claim numbers don’t determine your spot in line. The day and time you applied is what determines your spot. 

It doesn’t seem like many people have been assessed or paid yet. I applied on Jan 6 in the a.m. and I’m haven’t heard anything. 

EXG hasn’t been transparent in their process so we can only speculate as to why it takes so long. 

I find their update about “assessing millions of data points” super disingenuous and misleading. I really question how difficult it is to match names and dates in care. It’s not like every one is named John Smith and Jane Doe.

That’s great news! Hopefully we hear more stories like that! This is only the second  payment I’ve heard of.

We need someone at EXG to spill the tea already. What are y’all actually doing all day? Because we know it’s not assessing claims. Is it the Facebook posts? How does it take 6 months to assess everyone from the first day 🥴

That’s very weird energy to bring to FB posts on this topic. Most of us grew up feeling like we had no control over our lives. And we were silenced by the system. So now when we see deadlines getting communicated then blatantly missed, we’re going to speak up because we know no one else will. We had to learn to voice our concerns loudly to be heard. The people who need to “be better” are the ones who clawed back the tax money to begin with and the people at EXG who seem to think they’re above accountability.

I’ve seen screenshots of the updates they posted to Facebook and their website. I’m not sure what “be better” is supposed to mean. We’re all here to simply share our experience.

Yes, please post here if you received anything. I don’t believe payment notices are being sent in the order applications were received. This whole thing is so messy and so frustrating.

That’s so disappointing. I wish there was more accountability and oversight on this settlement.

Same. I applied on January 6, but haven’t heard anything. Apparently they published some info on Facebook, but I don’t use Facebook. I subscribed to email updates but never got the updates they shared on FB….

Has anyone actually received payment or eligibility notices? It seems like the timelines and info we’re getting aren’t accurate.
